Taking The Piss

So......now even making a light-hearted comment about a common characteristic of a particular race is "racist".

Halle Berry (see previous post) has caused a big fuss by her "anti-Semitic" remark during an interview that a digitally altered photo of her with a big nose makes her look like "her Jewish cousin".

The irony is that her comment was inspired by a Jewish colleague of hers that made an almost identical comment backstage before Halle went on air!

If I was Jewish I'd like to think I'd be embarrassed by the fuss being caused. God help us all of taking the piss out of someone is suddenly racist and there's an international outcry.
